Here’s the perfect stocking stuffer for that Batman fan on your Holiday Gift List: Batman: The Return of the Caped Crusaders. This new animated feature holds plenty of surprises. Adam West is the voice of Batman. Bert Ward returns as Robin. Julie Newmar’s voice as Catwoman is just as sexy as it was back in the Sixties. The Joker, The Penguin, The Riddler, and Catwoman plan a caper to steal a new Replicating weapon. Batman and Robin are on the case, but the plot is more complicated than appearances would indicate. If you’re a fan of the classic Sixties Batman TV series, you’ll love this new fun adventure! GRADE: A
I watched the show on TV, was very campy. Not sure I’d try this even on netflix, too many others so little time
Maggie, if you’re in the mood for some Sixties silly fun, BATMAN: THE RETURN OF THE CAPED CRUSADERS will take you right back to the BATMAN TV series. It’s pure nostalgia!
I think the campy Bateman TV show was the very nadir of the character in any medium. One glance at the cover was enough to tell me this is a skip for me.
Rick, I’m sure there’s a market for a fun re-visit of BATMAN in Sixties mode.
I don’t think I could watch more than two minutes of this – but I have to confess that I didn’t like any of those superhuman heroes comics at all – never could understand what the fascination of superman, batman etc was.
Thouh I’ve been an avid reader of MAD for more than 50 years now – ever since I saw it somewhere in a bookshop in the university town.
And I also enjoyed the “spoofs” /parodies of films and tv-series in MAD. From them I knew which films might be worth watching for me.
Wolf, I was a huge fan of the early MAD parodies of comic books and TV shows!
Batman isn’t a superpowered hero, Wolf. He’s just smart and physically talented.
Have to agree with Rick. Have 0 interest in this.
Steve, different strokes for different folks.
